* This is unstable development release. While it has had a bit of testing, there are certainly plenty of bugs remaining to be found. This release should not be used in production.

* Installing this version will overwrite your existing copy of GLib 2.24. If you have problems, you'll need to reinstall GLib 2.24.

* GLib 2.26 will be source and binary compatible with the GLib 2.24 series; however, the new API additions in GLib 2.25.6 are not yet finalized, so there may be incompatibilities between this release and the final 2.26 release.

GLib is the low-level core library that forms the basis for projectssuch as GTK+ and GNOME. It provides data structure handling for C,portability wrappers, and interfaces for such runtime functionality asan event loop, threads, dynamic loading, and an object system.
